The purpose of OAuth is to give (limited) permissions to applications without passing information about credentials (ID and password) to applications. Therefore, what you want to do conflicts with OAuth. To pass credentials to the input fields of Twitter's auth page programatically, nasty hack would be required. Twitter4J and other Twitter OAuth libraries won't support such a use case.
